The game isn't broken, it has issues. If it pisses you off that much just stop paying and come back if and when they make the changes you want. If something I was paying for that was meant to be fun but was 'pissing me off' I would stop paying for it.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

I actually asked Georg Zoller at SDCC if having a good deal of experience with the Hero engine would help a potential applicant; his response was "Not really since we have altered the engine so much ...it really isn't the Hero Engine anymore." This needs to be repeated again and again. Very few people in this thread have any idea what they are talking about. A lot of arm chair developers with very little to add to the conversation. Unless you were on their team and picked/modified the engine, you have no idea what you are talking about. I am very confident the hero engine met or exceeded the project team's requirments and CTQs.

It's probably poorly optimized for certain configurations at the moment. well to be fair my rig is fairly powerful and brand new, windows 7 performance score of 7.9 which is as high as it gets if I heard correctly. Game does however run smoothly on my 5 year old rig as well.

Only way to pay was with a gamecard in my country so not like i can just ''stop paying'' considering i have 2 months wasted now.

Said directly to you? Like in a live-chat? If you can dig up some sources to prove what you say, I think it'll put a lot of people at ease. There used to be hundreds of threads complaining about sharding, and I always had three articles I would link detailing how sharding was a temporary measure.

Yeah I have pretty much stopped trying to explain it...all I get is insulted and the Mods have seemed to stop even trying to hold back the trolling...it amazes me how awesome the in game community is and how really terrible the forums are.

My pc works fantastic, well done for again not knowing wth you're talking about, this game (or rather this engine) is flawed beyond believe and the people defending it are the same people who think Bioware should lay off the fixes and focus on putting more romances in the game.
